Thorlabs Mobile Photonics Lab (Main) In-Person
The Thorlabs Mobile Photonics Lab brings the science of light to you. Thorlabs will demonstrate measuring light at different colors to identify materials (spectroscopy), imaging inside the body with light (biomedical optics), transferring electrical signals through the air with laser beams (optical communications), and show what the inside of optical fiber looks like and how it works. Come inside to be introduced to the world of photonics!
